I couldn't get in either, and when I restarted the program, I'm patching now.
Wonder if they're fixing the event issues or what.
there was an announcement in game
That's all I saw.

Yup. Saw it as well. i suspect a hotfix being pushed live to correct the Winter Realm issue. Many (most?) characters attempting to enter the realm through the Mysterious Gift are finding themselves shunted to the appropriate starting zone instead.

For Lent I gave up...

It said 2 hours but may not take that long, that was when it went down at 6pm GMT, its now 6:40pm GMT, id try at 7 tbh

Short Story I did: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=228383
DevArt Page: http://tamedragon.deviantart.com/
They announced a 2 hour (maximum) down time begining at 1PM Eastern Time. While they gave no details the general consensus was this is to fix the problems everyone is experiencing with the Winter Lord portion of the event content. I plan to check back in about 20 minutes. They always say 2 hours JUST to be safe but if that's all they are fixing I'm sure it will take much less time.

Yeah I had just logged in and was forcibly shut out, had me wondering, especially when I checked the boards to find nothing about it until this post. You would think someone could at least post a quick something about the downed servers when this happens or before it happens.
Yeah in game messages are fine if you are not in the middle of hashing through IO for a build....back and forth between slotting and market. I didn't see it. Sure maybe should have paid more attention. Haven't even begun any winter lord stuff....probably wont either, didn't really enjoy it much last year and it has nothing i want, need, nor make my char advantageous in anyway during normal game time play.
I hope I dont lose any of the things i was in the middle of purchasing and slotting nor the alt billions I put in my email (yes now its an issue) to use this afternoon to build my incarnate.

Just curious - for a Hot Fix, what alternative means of notice would you think is possible besides the big red letters that showed up in the chat box at more than one interval before the servers went down at 1?|

I'm hoping you didn't lose stuff as well, but your post makes it sound like you think it was unreasonable for Paragon to take ther servers down with just in game messages as announcement.

No response from this server. Try a different server, or try playing this one later.
Anyone else getting this message right now? Server status shows they are all up and running.
My mains had all it's stuff in the auction house, so I'm seeing it as a lunch break from my working day at the auction house.

right now I am stuck in the download at 321B with no movement for 5 minutes. I so needed to relax today and it looks like I am out of luck today...
Between RL & COH this day is going south - ok, wine corked.

Yes, the glass is half full, there is always another perspective and no they are not following you.
I think the devs need to roll back that patch; now people can't get online.
I am on fine.
Saturday early afternoon.....prime playing time. Was their an announcement about this?? I didn't see it anywhere
